BFrank Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I think it's only because older music fans are more likely to pay for recorded music. I don't think that streaming is taken into account here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six string Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I agree. There are a lot of factors at play here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Weirdly,classical music seems to have gone the opposite way. The old emphasis was on catalog and classic recordings, and sales were 80:20, old to new. I read that this basically reversed although I can't remember what to and don't have a link. Those megaboxes of back catalog from the majors are evidently the answer to that and will no doubt have changed the economics again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
